About Orca Knows

Know your next move.

New AI tools arrive every week, along with plenty of noise. Orca Knows keeps track of what each one does, who’s behind it, what it costs and what’s changed, so the right choice is easier to see.

Why we built it

Keeping up with AI shouldn’t become your job.

While you’re running a business, new tools launch, prices change and features ship every week.

Every new tool raises the same questions. Will it still be around next year? Who’s the team behind it, and are they funded? Should you build on it, or on something more established? Answering them turns into a research project of its own. Orca does that research, and keeps doing it.

How a tool gets listed

Information you can stand behind.

Every tool in Orca Knows goes through the same four steps, and keeps going through them for as long as it’s listed.

  1. 01

    Collect

    We find AI tools and the companies behind them on their own sites, launch posts, code hosts and app stores.

  2. 02

    Check

    We check every tool on a schedule: some every day, others every week or month.

  3. 03

    Update

    When something changes, the listing changes with it, dated and linked to where we saw it.

  4. 04

    Generate insights

    We turn those changes into insights: what moved, what it means, and who it matters to.

Our publishing commitment

Good decisions need more than a confident answer.

  1. 01Companies can’t buy a higher ranking.
  2. 02If we ever sell sponsored placements, they’ll be labeled where they appear.
  3. 03We keep what a vendor says, what users report and what we checked apart.
  4. 04A checked date tells you when we looked, not that nothing has changed since.

For teams

A plan, not a binder

Today, getting an AI plan usually means hiring a consultant, waiting months and paying tens of thousands of dollars for a binder of recommendations. Putting it in place costs far more. Orca gives your team the plan without the wait: ranked next moves, owners and budget, ready to share or to hand to an AI agent to set up.

  • Ranked moves with owners and budget
  • Built from your tools and your goals
  • Hand it to your AI agent to set up
In their words

Less time researching. More time deciding.
